The manufacturing industry operates through three interconnected stages:
- Extraction of raw materials.
- Processing and manufacturing these materials.
- Transportation, distribution, and sales.
These stages collectively drive economies, enable transportation, provide employment, offer shelter, ensure food supply, and furnish our spaces with both necessities and luxuries.
Deloitte’s 2023 outlook on the manufacturing industry provides valuable insights and highlights five key trends:
- Investing in advanced technologies to reduce risk.
- Implementing diverse talent management strategies to minimize voluntary turnover.
- Enhancing supply assurance with proven mitigation strategies.
- Adopting a comprehensive approach to smart factory initiatives to explore new opportunities.
- Prioritizing corporate social responsibility.
Addressing these five areas forms a robust strategic plan for growth, one that anticipates and tackles potential challenges. Deloitte’s report underscores this:
